RE NXT Integration Tool

Blackbaud’s CRM tools are popular among our partner schools.We saw that a lot of you are finding a new favorite from the Blackbaud suite of CRM tools called Raiser’s Edge NXT, a lightweight tool with a simple and usable user interface, a significant improvement over its predecessor Raiser’s Edge 7. If you haven’t migrated, you should probably consider it now.

We understand that having data on multiple systems is very hard to maintain. Alot of schools usually resort to expensive third-party integration tools. We wanted to avoid that hassle for you with our new RE NXT integration tool.

With our new integration tool, you will be able to seamlessly push the updated constituent data from Almabase platform to RE NXT or pull from RE NXT to Almabase platform. With this, you can be assured of having updated data all the time by keeping both the systems in Sync.

To get started, you can instantly connect both the systems by authorizing your permission to connect to your Blackbaud account.(Look for Raiser’s Edge NXT Integration on your admin panel navigation)

On Almabase admin panel

Signing into your Blackbaud Account

Authorizing Almabase to connect to your Blackbaud Database

Once connected, you have to map the Almabase properties and RE NXT properties. These mappings will help the tool to compare the values and find probable matches. For example“Mobile Number” on Almabase could be equivalent to“Cell Phone” on RE NXT.

Now you are all set to sync the records.

On the Almabase profile, we have given you options to either Push to RE NXT or Pull from RE NXT.

Profile page on the platform

Several of our customers are already using and enjoying the benefits of our integration tool.

Alumni information on Almabase platform is usuallymore up-to–date because Almabase can pull that information from LinkedIn and Facebook regularly, and users also add that informationon their profiles. You can full control to choose what information needs to be copied to RE NXT. For example, you can choose Residence Phone Number to be copied to RE NXT and set it to be the primary contact.
